One of my stupid cats, "Coco da Rat", decided that the top of my sons computer was his new lounge, That was the location of my router. Its now standing on its face leaning against the computer. It worked fine till yesterday when the cat5 connection to my switch became mechcanically unhappy. After plugging it in and wiggling it some more it made a good connection again.

I guess emwrap can't parse the output of emerge anymore.
Is there an update to emwrap?

UPDATE:
It seems that emwrap does not work in the case of circular dependencies. (In this case with java.)
That is, because emwrap parses the list of circular depentencies and uses them as the list of packages to install, wich of course does not work.
As a temporary workaround remove the circuar dependencies before calling emwrap.

emwrap borks out on my toolchain rebuilds as well, failing on switching gcc compilers... Dunno if I'm using an old version, but it would really help if we had an inofficial ebuild for overlaying. _________________0mFg, G3nt00 r0X0r$ T3h B1g!1111

Stumbled upon this, seems like it could solve several problems I'm having with emerge. Much appreciation to hielvc and everyone else who's helped out

Unfortunately, I'm having some issues: I copied/pasted, but i'm getting "emwrap.sh: line 799: syntax error: unexpected end of file."

looked through the thread for previous posts about similar problems, but none of the solutions worked for me... and the direct download links are down. I couldn't find an alternate download for the current version (4.0.8 with gcc-config-r4)... anyone have any ideas? If you have a working copy and could e-mail it to me, I'd very much appreciate it ( mystic * pixel {a} gmail * com, s/*/. )

BTW: I saw the discussion of sourceforge earlier in the thread, and I agree it's overkill, but in the interest of having a more accessable link, could I suggest creating a project on Google Code? http://code.google.com/hosting/ I don't know much about it; just throwing it out there.

The handling of the "failed" file looks completely broken. I tried everything I could think of (hitting the "f" key several times, typing - as the documentation inside the script indicates "emwrap failed", and several other things), but none of them worked. I ended up just doing it manually.

Ill be home this weekend I'll try to sort this out. If you all could post " emwrap.sh -V " and your portage version. curmudgeon when you ran emerge did you have circular dependencies?_________________An A-Z Index of the Linux BASH command line

I belated saw the link to emwrap-r4 above (thank you for the link seren) and it includes a nicer fix than mine for the gcc-config change.

red-wolf76 that is a more recent version than the one you are using.

A wrapper for emerge so you can break emerges into chunks, TC, system, world

I see the circular dependency problem myself with both 4.0.8 from Dec 2006 and this version (in this case it was easy enough to break the circle).

If emwrap.sh is run and it detects a "failed' or "build" file
then it will offer to build them. You can ignor this by not doing
anything and what you wanted todo will start after automaticlly.

work_dir is
[ebuild R ] dev-util/codeblocks-9999-r18

You have packages blocking each other. To fix run emerge
and take care of the blockage

Unless heilvc has released a new version that I missed. It was created before sets support, so no it won't handle sets yet. At least not specifically. It will pass on parameters to emerge, so try it with the -p flag and see what happens.

If you don't need the toolchain broken out from system, I have porthole working with sets support and it breaks out system and sets packages from world so they only show up in the first one in the list (upgrades view)._________________Brian

Is this normal or something will need to be changed in the script? If so, where exactly?
